About

I am a South African born Kiwi and I live in beautiful Napier, New Zealand's Art Deco Capital.

I spend my days at home with James (4) and Emma (1).

The four year old is a lot of everything. Confident, bold, loud, literal, sensitive, caring, clumsy, kind, dependent. He loves people and his own company. He'll love you a lot if you own toys that have wheels. He makes a lot of mess but loves to help. He thinks a lot and asks a lot of questions. These days, he's asking really big questions, like "What's called God?" and "Where is Heaven?" followed by "which cloud is heaven on?...what's that cloud called?". I tell him daily that I love him, and I hope that when he grows up he will be good at what he chooses to be (currently a digger driver), that he has the same work ethic and loyalty as his dad and that he is a wonderful dad to his children.

My little baby girl-child is one. She loves to hug, kiss, eat, is BESOTTED with her dad and is fiercely independent. She is feisty, determined, stroppy, gorgeous, cuddly, quite delicious and I hope for her that one day she is loved and cherished tremendously as a mother and wife, that she prays hard and works hard on whatever path she chooses. These two and their father complete my life and make me extremely happy.

This year, 2012, I am going to: sew or make every gift I give, craft more, faff lessread the Bible from the very Beginning to the very End, eat less, exercise more, (okay, stop laughing, Echo Beta)talk less, listen more (I'll try)

Welcome!

My blog is here to share things I make and love. I have learned so much from following amazing blogs, so I will be able to share on that wisdom and mostly keep in touch with family and friends who I don't see often, back on the motherland.
